Beyond the tightening polls. This is not good for the Clinton campaign when they start to see headlines like that on the mainstream news sites and their videos .

Hat tip to Bernie's campaign who have done precisely what they had to to this point - get within striking distance on New Hampshire (which they've exceeded) and Iowa (which is now a true toss up with momentum in Sanders corner).

There's little doubt that this race has changed and Bernie's very, very much in it now.

1. Let's hope so.

11. +1000000

[PSPS]

2. This analysis/opinion piece belongs in GD-P, not LBN.

3. Getting so tired

Of Sanders supporters jumping on the least bit of anti Clinton news and acting like its the end of her campaign. Please note today's national poll. Get some perspective folks.

[pangaia]

6. Oh. Ok. We'll shut up.

[DaveT]

4. Not surprising

that the Hillary R. Clinton campaign message of "Vote for me because I am going to win anyway," has a flaw in it.


Month after month, the Hillary supporters kept posting their triumphant but irrelevant polls showing her ahead by 30 and more points. Month after month, the Sanders supporters kept posting the obvious retort that she was ahead of Obama by almost the same margins eight years ago.

Now the polls are telling a different story and those who refused to look at what happened in 2008 are now dumbfounded to see the same thing happening again.


This is not to say that this thing is over. It is just getting started. But what is over is the silly assed thought that Sanders has no chance. It was always a crock and now it is a moot point. We have a real race for the Democratic nomination.

7. Same as NO MORE DEBATES.

Ooppsie.. MORE DEBATES !!!

[trillion]

12. My local news site which is full of rw gunnuts, has Sanders supporters all over it now. It's because

people who usually come there that aren't rw, are speaking up. I also see it on some of the large news sites that use to be dominated by the right. I'm actually stunned anyone on this site would vote for hillary. I mean, tpp, wallstreet, war.

5. YES!

2016 will be 2008 redux. As it was then, voters will not choose a unlikeble candidate who they believe to be an untrustworthy liar.

[Robbins]

8. yes

CBS/NYT poll CLinton 48% Bernie 41% http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbsnyt-poll-hillary-clintons-lead-over-bernie-sanders-shrinks/

9. Sanders will very likely win IA and NH.

Then comes the hard part.

[silvershadow]

10. It certainly will be interesting. nt

[Still In Wisconsin]

13. She's a crap candidate running a crap campaign.

She may yet win the nomination, but boy are she and her campaign ever uninspiring. "Vote for me because, inevitability."

And she said she was going to run a different campaign this time. Yeccch.
